/**
* Interface for database access objects.
*
* Classes using this support a set of constants in a bitfield argument to their data loading
* functions. In general, objects should assume READ_NORMAL if no flags are explicitly given,
* though certain objects may assume READ_LATEST for common use case or legacy reasons.
*
* There are three types of reads:
* - READ_NORMAL : Potentially cached read of data (e.g. from a slave or stale replica)
* - READ_LATEST : Up-to-date read as of transaction start (e.g. from master or a quorum read)
* - READ_LOCKING : Up-to-date read as of now, that locks the records for the transaction
*
* Callers should use READ_NORMAL (or pass in no flags) unless the read determines a write.
* In theory, such cases may require READ_LOCKING, though to avoid contention, READ_LATEST is
* often good enough. If UPDATE race condition checks are required on a row and expensive code
* must run after the row is fetched to determine the UPDATE, it may help to do something like:
* - a) Read the current row
* - b) Determine the new row (expensive, so we don't want to hold locks now)
* - c) Re-read the current row with READ_LOCKING; if it changed then bail out
* - d) otherwise, do the updates
*/
